Coding tips

dev_games.ini can be used for a single entry, but if it replaces an entry already in xfire_games.ini it does not entirely overwrite the original entry. (Thanks GODJonez!)

DISABLE_LSP [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]
DISABLE_RELEASE ["Common problems in games. Release gets called to scrap textures and information. Usually happens when the game closes or is alt+tabbled, if not handled properly can crash the game or Xfire. This corrects the crash." ^ | Try this if In-Game works in the menus, but not during gameplay.]
DISABLE_SCREENSHOTS [Disables the Xfire screenshot feature]
DISABLE_VIDEO_CAPTURE [Disables the Xfire video recording feature]
DISPATCH_CONURE_MESSAGES ["Used when messages are not being sent between the game and Xfire. It re-establishes the communication between XIG and Xfire." ^ | Try this if the game crashes when you try using XIG or if XIG doesn't work.]
ENABLE_BROWSER [Enables XIG web browser - introduced in v1.101]
ENABLE_MOUSE [Enables mouse to work with XIG]
FIX_FLICKER [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]
FORCE_REHOOK [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]

NO_DINPUT_KEYCHECK ["This is used to prevent keys getting passed through. Another way to solve key passes." ^ | Disables XIG keyboard detection.]
NO_HIDE_CURSOR [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]
OGL_EXTRA_HOOKS [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]
REINSTALL_KEYBOARD_HOOK ["The game attempts to prevent keylogging so Xfire's hooks get dumped. This tells it to reinstall the keyboard hooks." ^]
SKIP_DEVICE_RELEASE ["Prevents Xfire devices from getting released." ^]
SUBCLASS_WNDPROC [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]
USE_DINPUT1 ["When DINPUT8 doesn't work or allow Xfire to hook, this flag is used to circumvent DINPUT8 by creating DINPUT1 to capture the keys (e.g. EA Games)" ^ | Try this if you have no control of the game but can open the XIG window or if the keyboard controls both the game and XIG at the same time.]
USE_DINPUT_MOUSE [Try this if the mouse controls both XIG and the game at the same time.]
USE_PRESENT ["Used in D3D (Direct 3D) games. It prevents XIG from drawing our Graphical User Interface on the game's textures, like floors and walls." ^]
USE_SWAPCHAIN [***NEEDS DESCRIPTION***]
USE_WINDOWS_INPUT ["Use Windows Input scheme instead of DINPUT" ^ | Try this if you have no control of the game but can open the XIG window. Might not release control completely to XIG (both game and XIG are controlled by keyboard), in which case you should try USE_DINPUT1. Might disable mouse in XIG2.0]
VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME ["Generally used in Korean MMos that use nProtect or GameGuard. It verifies the EXE name instead of the Process ID." ^]
VERIFY_THREADID ["Used for multi-threaded applications and multi-core processors, making sure Xfire is communicating on the proper thread." ^]
WEBGAME [Used for web games.]
WGLSWAPLAYERBUFFERS ["This corrects an issue where some games use swap player buffers instead of the norm." ^]
